I tried KatoPue’s solution, but I got the following error: fatal: could not read log file ‘C:/Program Files/Git/mnt/c/Users/Elies/AppData/Local/Temp/git-commit-msg-.txt’: No such file or directory I solved it by replacing the path when sending the … Read more

The main difference between using Docker Desktop with the WSL2 integration and using docker directly in WSL2 without Docker Desktop is the level of integration with your tools. When you use Docker desktop, you have access to docker in powershell/cmd, have access to your file on windows, the possibility to switch to Windows container and … Read more

Some available distributions are listed in the Manual Installation section of the MS guide (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual) The actual manual installation instructions are hidden in the Server Install section of the manual (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server), but my understanding is that you can just run the .appx file you … Read more
See this video, it helped me: netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=<port-to-listen> listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=<port-to-forward> connectaddress=<forward-to-this-IP-address> for example netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=3000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=3000 connectaddress=172.30.16.3 Microsoft has published a little bit of information about this on their WSL1 to WSL2 comparison page
Git for Windows is using the mingw-w64 project (as illustrated here) and msys2. See more in “How are msys, msys2, and msysgit related to each other?”. That is vastly different from WSL, which emulates an actual Linux distribution. Does it contain some constraints that WSL doesn’t have? The Git for Windows is based on a … Read more
It looks like you are mounting your Laravel project in your container. This could result in very poor file I/O if you are mounting these files from your Windows environment to WSL 2, since WSL 2 currently has a lot of problems accessing files that are on the Windows environment. This I/O issue exists as … Read more
